Going down there when they re-open after the holidays to pick up a couple of the 124 dollar built lowers.

Buddy ordered the 275 dollar upper on the EE here, and is getting the 189 dollar lower from them...under 600 for a built rifle: nice!

I'll play





Same Aero products, except I skipped the stock and went with a Aero upper instead.

The barrel is one of these:
shorty

Finished off with a RA pistol extension, Phantom FH, MOE handguards and a DD BCG

The barrel has some good reviews out there, but not a lot of info on them is to be found on arfcom. I plan on doing a write up on it i the BIY section when it gets here in a day or so.

Not knocking it. Tapco deals in plastic things, makes sense to make M4 stocks. I've had flimsy stocks and sturdy ones, how does it appear?

Actually the stock is fairly sturdy, does have a slightly loose fit to it, lockup seems okay.



And Pmags fit and drop free just fine.

Commercial... was having that discussion with my friend as we were putting together a mega lower.  Had to run to Marys for the whole stock set up.  The tapco stuff seems stout enough. I haven't thrown it down the driveway to see if would hold up. They had one in the back but Dans drawer of spares couldn't come up  with a dust cover, pin and spring.
What are you gonna do?

Tapco is commercial.  They seem decent enough, especially for a lower cost build.  I wouldn't spend my money on one, but then I wouldn't spend my money on any M4 style stock since I replace them with CTRs the first chance I get anyway.  I've got a Colt and a Bushmaster M4 stock laying around here someplace that I pulled.  I'm sure I could break one, but I think I could break just about anything and everything if I put my mind to it.

The Aero lowers have been fitting with every PMag I've tried in them lately.  I'm planning on getting one or maybe two (a pistol build at the very least) in a month or so.  I'm beginning to think I have an addiction or something!

You probably couldn't see him behind his huge sunglasses and hat.  The same ones he was wearing when he came back.  And kept wearing after the sun went down.  Hmmm.....?

That's because he didn't follow the 6P's and forgot to bring the clear lenses for his tacticool glasses because he refuses to wear the BCGs.

Thanks for info, got a PM from someone saying the same thing and another saying opposite.  With the price, might have to pick up another this Saturday to dollar cost average the others I bought and if you guys let me pick out the serial number again
